ӄэʼсь

Ket

Etymology

Inherited from Proto-Yeniseian *qes (“sand or rocks on a riverbank”).[1][2]

(Editor's note: Despite Sergej A. Starostin's comments, Arin kes ~ qes (“stone”)[3][4] and Pumpokol кить (kitʲ, “stone”)[5][6][7] are most likely related to this term, thus securing this word's etymology firmly as a Proto-Yeniseian word, rather than Proto-Ketic which his data suggests.)

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /²qes/, [qɛʔɛ̯s͉ʲ˥˧]

Noun

ӄэʼсь (qeˀsʲ) n (plural ӄэреӈ)

  1. sandbank

Usage notes

  • Can also surface as ӄяʼсь (qäˀsʲ, [qæʔæ̯s͉ʲ˥˧]), depending on the speaker.
